Artesia city officials and members of the business com-munity met May 13 at The Quest Learning Center on Artesia Bou-levard to discuss the formation of a citywide Business Association.

The 7:30 a.m. meeting was initiated by Mayor pro tem Tony Lima who told those present that five years ago Artesia had a strong active Business Associa-tion, but for whatever reason it disappeared. “ At that time we were aware of each other and through the open houses and mix-ers held we were able to network and kept abreast of what was hap-pening in the business community and in the city.

Last week, Dave Olsen bowled a 284 and his team-mate Jason Eien bowled

a 229. This week, along with Roy Ramsey (254) and Brandon Wright (238) they are headed to a national championship compe-tition in Cincinnati, Ohio, rep-resenting their bowling league against 150 competing teams.

All of the bowlers in their league, sponsored by Keystone Lanes in Norwalk, are legally blind.

Think you’ve got the stuff to bowl against them? The blind bowlers keep an open challenge and love to compete. They’ve beaten all three challengers to step forward so far. The only con-cession: you have to be willing to wear a single eye patch.

The league is run by Rob Hart-ley, manager of special events for Keystone Lanes. Owner Charlie Kinstler and General Manager Dave Piazza enthusiastically sup-port the league. Adrienne Barber provides able assistance

The Planning Commission held a public hearing Mar. 24 for the acquisition of the property and recommended approval. On April 13, the council also held a public hearing and gave its approval for the purchase of the property. The site currently has three buildings on it, including two single-story structures and a single-story stor-age shed.

The Hawaiian Gardens Re-development Agency/Council awarded a contract to DLE Con-struction of Covina in the amount of $534,833 for Phase II of the Norwalk Boulevard Façade Ren-ovation project.

The renovation will be on the streets east side between Tisbury Street and 216 Street.

Improvement includes demo-lition, painting, roofing, stucco, sheet metal, veneer stone, sig-nage, asphalt replacement and electrical work. In his report to the Council Community Devel-opment Director Joseph Colom-bo said the property owners had agreed to pay 20 percent of the construction cost for the rehabili-tation of their property. Construc-tion is expected to start by July 5 with all work completed by Jan 8, 2010.

The Council approved a re-quest for $97,381.12 in com-

mercial rehabilitation assistance for the rehabilitation of Western Liquor located at 22300 Norwalk Blvd..

Colombo said four bids were received by the owner, Ji Hee Kim, with a low bid of $84,500 submitted by W. E. Construction Inc. of Santa Fe Springs. Kim also received three bids for the in-stallation of signs with a low bid of $9,476.08 by Sign Methods Inc. of Signal Hill.

Colombo said the property is located in a C-4 zone and con-sists of one occupied commercial building that is used as a neigh-borhood market. He said the building and lot are in poor con-dition and will require extensive repairs including a new façade, lighting, stucco, parking lot, trash enclosures, landscaping and sig-nage. The owner will be responsi-ble for 20 percent of the total cost

said the intent of the project is to allow for downtown shoppers to park within a public parking fa-cility and prevent spill over onto nearby residential streets. The structure will be built in harmony with the adjacent residential and commercial structures.

The Council also approved an agreement with Edge Construc-tion Management Consultant Services for the construction and design of a new Public Works Yard to be located on city-owned land at the end of Corby Avenue adjacent to the 91 Freeway.

Dadian said there were two issues that needed to be resolved including compensation and a time-line that will involve week-ly reports. “We have asked they make a weekly report to us so we will know what the ongoing costs are and where they are with the project. The company is re-

Gahr High PTSA Announces Award WinnersBy Larry Caballero

More than 50 family members and friends attended Gahr High School’s annual PTSA Award Ceremony in the school library May 13, to honor its award

winners for scholarships and service to the school.

ABC School Board Member David Montgomery said it was a pleasure to be at Gahr to honor so many deserv-ing students. “It’s always a fun time at the end of the school year to recognize students who have excelled.” He attrib-uted their success to a “top notch” faculty and administration, combined with caring parents and motivated students.

He also encouraged the Reflection Award winners for artistic achievement to continue to improve their talent. “Keep it up,” he said. Victor Manalo, Artesia city councilmember and the city’s liaison to Gahr High, congratulated all of the win-ners on behalf of the city.

PTSA President Monica Manalo was pleased with the organization’s achieve-ments and growth, and she promised even more success in the years to come.

Free Household Hazardous And Electronic Waste In Norwalk On July 11

Los Angeles County residents can dispose of household hazardous waste including unused pharmaceuticals, antifreeze, car batteries, used motor oil, paint, pesticides; home-generated sharps waste such as hypodermic needles, pen needles, syringes, lancets, and intrave-nous needles; universal waste including household batteries, fluorescent light bulbs; and electronic waste (e-waste) such as TVs and monitors, computers, VCRs, stereos, and cell phones at the next free Countywide Household Haz-ardous Waste Roundup. The Roundup will be held in Norwalk, at Cerritos College in Stadium Parking Lot C-1, 11110 Alondra Blvd., on Saturday, July 11, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Residents can bring up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds of household hazardous waste per vehicle to the Roundup. “The Roundups offer County of Los Angeles residents a convenient way to discard common household products, e-waste and universal waste such as household batteries and fluorescent light bulbs that are hazardous to people and the environment if not properly dis-posed of,” said County of Los Angeles Supervisor Don Knabe (4th Dist.), Chairman of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. “And, even though old computer monitors and key boards can be reused, refurbished, or recycled, electronic waste is a growing problem.” We can all do our part to avoid the serious pollution problems that result when these items end up in landfills or storm drains,” said Cerritos Mayor Bruce Barrows.

OPINION/GUEST COLUMNS/LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The End of Tolerance ....Continues

Mr. Stabile must be a Democrat in good standing with his party to be so shocked at the claims I made which are echoed by many former Democrats, like former Congressman Jim Rogan or Homeless Advocate Ted Hayes, who found them-selves first marginalized before being told to essentially leave or else. As far as LBJ he was dead before I was conceived, I left the Democrat party in 2003 after the Cali-fornia Recall. In high school & college, I used to be a defender of the Democrat Party and a registered Democrat. Then I opened my eyes and saw the pain the leadership of that party was causing due to their ideology. I saw the pain to small businesses as the controller for a small

sign company and later as an accounting assistant at an automotive part recycler. I saw how government agencies created to solve problems, instead only made the poor and disadvantaged more dependent on their services instead of less.

Until very recently, Alan Lowenthal backed family and extended family mem-bers for office with anything more than just an endorsement, and now only backs current or former staffers like Mark Pu-lido with anything more than token help. He has been criticized by leaders in his own party for not being more aggressive in “taking out” elected Republicans in his district. He was also criticized by the self described “most influential Democrat in Cerritos” for meeting with our current Mayor. Furthermore, Lowen-thal was castigated for writing legislation that went beyond Proposi-tion 11, which would take the redistricting power out of the hands of the Leadership of the State Legislature and thus his party for Con-gressional seats as well.

There are 3 Democrats in the State As-sembly who opposed Proposition 1A for there being anything that could be con-strued as a spending cap no matter how weak. They lost committee chairman-ships over that. Meanwhile Arlen Specter switched parties believing the promises of him keeping his seniority then he was stabbed in the back by Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats who reneged on their promises to him, after he made some fa-vorable comments concerning a Republi-can friend.

As far as vitriol, at the end of my piece I listed several initiatives coming out of Washington, DC that should alarm any-one who cherishes first amendment rights. One I did not but probably should have, is HR 1388 by Democrat Rep Carolyn Mc-Carthy that was passed by both Houses of Congress with no Democrat voting against it (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/C?c111:./temp/~c111WJDk2R). Buried in the bill, in Section 1310, it pro-hibits students who receive financial aid from the Federal Government from par-ticipating in "(1)influencing legislation; (2)organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes;… (5) En-gaging in partisan political activities, or other activities designed to influence the outcome of an election to Federal office or the outcome of an election to a State or local public office; (6) Participating in, or endorsing, events or activities that are likely to include advocacy for or against political parties, political platforms, po-litical candidates, proposed legislation, or elected officials; (7)Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruc-tion or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship; maintaining facilities primarily

or inherently devoted to religious instruc-tion or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization; …or (11) Such other activities as the Corporation may prohibit". It is now the law of the land signed into law on 4/21/09 becoming Public Law No: 111-13. It was introduced in the House on March 9th, left the House Committee on Education and Labor on March 16th, passed the House the first time on March 18th, passed the Senate on March 23rd, and passed the House again on March 31st. Why was it so impor-tant for the Leadership of the Democrat Party to pass this bill this quickly when the economic crisis was the number one issue to resolve? This new law passed by

a Democrat controlled Congress, yes with some minor Republi-can help, and signed into law by President Obama violates the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, was rushed through both houses of Congress, had nothing to do with the current economic

crisis and everything to do with remaking our nation into a more secular nation by prohibiting the free exercise of religion while stomping on the free speech rights of students whose parents cannot afford to send their kids to college without such aid.

This is what the leadership of the Democrat Party has become, and unless or until that leadership is changed or you see mass defections of Democrats to become Republicans, it will get worse, with more pain for this nation to suffer through, both economically and with regards to us los-ing our freedoms. And if switching to De-clined to State was the answer, Assembly-man Tony Mendoza himself said that the Decline to States don't matter, and studies have shown him correct, that declined to states tend to vote for the same party that they recently left or not vote.

Is the Republican Party perfect? No, it isn't and some of its leaders, like the Schwartz, have done the party a dis-service. However, it is the most effective voice of true opposition there is at this present time. And whether intentional or not, the policies in the Republican Party Platform, have and can still lead to a bet-ter America.

HR 1388The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act Myth Versus Fact

Some pundits and opponents of bi-partisan legislation to expand service and volunteer opportunities are making false arguments to mislead the American pub-

lic about the bill. This is especially ironic given that the bill was co-authored by a Republican in the Senate, was approved with overwhelming bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress, and that has the strong support of Americans of all backgrounds.

The legislation (H.R. 1388) called the GIVE Act in the House and the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act in the Senate, is expected to receive a final vote on the House floor early next week. The following fact sheet will help clear up myths about this critical piece of legisla-tion.

MYTH #1: This legislation will force young people to participate in mandatory national service. It will also make “service learning” a mandatory part of the curricu-lum.

This is false. This legislation never has included language that would create or require young people to participate in mandatory service programs. Opponents are basing this ridiculous argument on a provision included in H.R. 1388 when it was first introduced that would have created a bipartisan congressional com-mission to “investigate ways to create a broader commitment to national service” including whether or not “a manda-tory service requirement was feasible.” This language was stricken from the bill before it reached the House floor. It is not included in either the GIVE Act as passed by the House, or the Serve America Act as passed by the Senate, and will not be included in the legislation that reaches President Obama’s desk next week.

MYTH #2: The bill also includes Youth Engagement Zones that state that “service learning” will be a “mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the second-ary schools served by the local educa-tional agency.”

This is also false. The legislation does not require service learning as part of a school curriculum. It does contain a new grant program in the service learning section called Youth Engagement Zone programs. These programs provide com-petitive grants for partnerships between local school districts that serve high-need, low-income students and community-based organizations or state entities. The legislation simply states that these school based service learning programs should integrate service learning into the cur-riculum. Service learning uses real world activities to teach students about a certain topic. For example, volunteering in a homeless shelter could supplement a class teaching students about poverty.

MYTH #3: This bill places unfair restrictions on people who participate in national service.

The legislation does not say that citizens who participate in service cannot do certain things, but rather that a service position funded by taxpayer dollars cannot be used for activities such as lobbying, religious instruction. This is consistent with current regulations, and was inserted into the bill as the Republican Motion to Recommit.

COMMUNITY NEWS GROUP • MAY 15, 2009 5TO ADVERTISE CALL 800-901-7211MYTH #4: This legislation would

make faith-based and religious organiza-tions ineligible for service funds.

False. Religious organizations cannot use any federal funds for religious instruc-tion – as is consistent with the U.S. Con-stitution – but they absolutely can receive funds to provide service and volunteer activities. As Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), the Republican co-author of the bill in the Senate, noted in a press release: “the service rendered under this legislation will be strictly voluntary and that the bill enables faith-based groups to compete for program funds on an equal footing with secular nonprofits.”

Econo-My-SceneVoter REVOLT! Suit Up and Show Up BEFORE Casting your Ballot!By Randy Economy

It’s time for a Voter Revolt here in California next Tuesday.

Before I go to the Ballot Box to VOTE NO on Proposition’s 1A to 1F, I want invite all of you to attend a Rally THIS Saturday, May 16th from 10 AM to Noon, on the Lawn Area at Norwalk City Hall at the corner of Imperial Highway and Norwalk Boulevard.

This FREE community grassroots rally is being planned by several local com-munity leaders who are fed up with high taxes, and who want to bring accountabil-ity and reform to Sacramento.

The Rally this Saturday is being planned by several local community leaders, from all walks of life, from all political views. Those planning this event including La Mirada businessman Noel Jaimes, 56th GOP Assembly District Cen-

tral Committee Members Matt Kauble and Alex Burrola, Cerritos College Trustee Bob Arthur, Retired Bellflower School Board Member Rick Royse, Cer-ritos business leader Allen G. Wood.

Confirmed speakers so far include, (yours truly) Randy Economy, Former Chairman of the 56th AD Democrat Party Central Committee and a lifetime com-munity organizer; Luis Alvarado Chair-man, Republican National Hispanic As-sembly, Los Angeles; Ted Hayes Founder of Dome Village/Advocate for the Home-less; Rick Royse Business owner, former Bellflower Unified school board member, Cerritos College Trustee Bob Arthur and Sue Arthur, Current President of the Nor-walk Chamber of Commerce; and Judith Brennan, Former Mayor of Norwalk.

We will also have an “open” mi-crophone at the Rally so anyone who wants to be heard, can be heard. We want everyone to bring your homemade signs (“Stop the Props,” “Just Say NO 6 Times,” “Voter Revolt,” “people power,” etc.), and bring your family members, friends and neighbors.

I don't know about you, but I have had enough with the politicians in Sacra-mento!

I am tired of backless politicians and

faceless millionaire bureaucrats who tax US voters to death and then claim they have no alternative but to “make ends meet” by raising multi-Billions of Dollars in NEW taxes.

As such, I intend to make a statement by voting NO to MORE tax increases and borrowing in the next Tuesday’s Special election (Props 1A-1F), and to do my part to help organize this grassroots movement to help defeat these measures.

In a previous column, I mentioned that I would probably be voting FOR Proposi-tion 1F.

But I have changed my mind, and will now be voting NO on Prop. 1F.

Instead of giving “no pay checks” to those in Sacramento who cannot bal-ance our affairs, I much prefer just voting them out of office instead of giving them another “loophole” to sliver through.

It’s a shame that the once great State of California has a budget deficit greater than most all the rest of the States com-bined.

It’s a travesty that our California State Legislature actually started accruing this deficit several years back when the economy was still booming.

It’s offensive that our Governor and the Legislature manipulated figures and

outright lied for several years in a row as they pretended to balance the state budget, when all they were doing was digging us deeper and deeper into a cash coffin.

It’s hard to trust the Governor who promised to cut up the State's credit card, after he helped oust our last Governor in a recall, but has instead actually increased our borrowing.

Are you not insulted that the only solution presented to us by our Governor and State Legislature who created this dilemma is to raise taxes and borrow even more money?

We have tons of waste in our Califor-nia State Budget. The scare campaigns are outrageous in this campaign, and the People will have the final say so on Tuesday.

In the meantime, see you in Norwalk on Saturday! Let Freedom Ring!

Navigating The Health Aisle 4 Supplements Everyone Should Take

Supplements are a part of many people's daily lives. They contribute to our health, but also leave us with a lot of questions. Which supplements are best? What do they actually do? What are the most affordable options?

"Supplements are a smart addition to a healthy lifestyle," says Dr. Luke Bucci, a certified clinical nutritionist and researcher at Schiff Nutrition. "The health aisle of your local drug store holds a large amount of options that can be confusing."

Bucci says that just because a supple-ment is expensive doesn't mean it's the best one. "Some of the highest quality, most beneficial supplements are actually quite affordable, if you know what to look for," he comments.

If you want the best supplements for both your health and your wallet, Bucci recommends you consider the following four:

1. Multivitamins"A multivitamin should be taken on a

daily basis and helps ensure the body gets the vitamins and minerals it needs to stay healthy," says Bucci. "This is especially important if you're not eating a well-round-ed diet. A multivitamin can help fill in the gaps that your daily intake of food is not."

Look for options that are tailored to your age group, such as multivitamins for women or for those 50-plus. At just a few cents a day, multivitamins are one of the most affordable ways to help maintain good health.

2. ProbioticsCan bacteria be good for us? Yes it can,

if it's the right kind. "Probiotics are bacteria that we can ingest in supplement form that help keep the natural balance within our di-gestive systems," says Bucci. "Some stud-ies have shown that probiotics can restore normal bowel function, prevent infections in the digestive tract and even help the im-mune system."

When looking for a probiotic supple-ment, try to find one that has Lactobacillus acidophilus and/or Bifidobacterium bifidus human strains. These will be the most ben-

eficial.

3. Omega-3 fatty acidsAn omega-3 supplement is a great way

to improve your heart health and maintain good triglyceride levels. Fish oil pills are the most popular way to get this important fatty acid and provide several cardiovas-cular benefits. But new research has dis-covered other omega-3 options. "For many reasons, krill oil has demonstrated itself as a better source of omega-3," says Bucci. "Krill are tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that inhabit the cold ocean areas of the world."

Bucci notes that krill oil contains es-sential omega-3 fatty acids, but these are chemically linked together in a different form -- a more soluble structure that is easily absorbed by our bodies. He recom-mends MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil be-cause it has been tested in clinical trials, is smaller and easier to swallow, and contains the antioxidant astaxanthin, which neutral-izes free radicals. "Just one krill oil softgel, about the size of a coffee bean, lowers C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels better than three large fish oil softgels. CRP is rec-ognized as a key marker of cardiovascular health. The lower your CRP, the healthier

your heart. And with krill oil, you have the benefits of omega-3 without the fishy smell or aftertaste," says Bucci.

4. AntioxidantsAntioxidants the body needs to stay

healthy are found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Since most of us do not eat enough of this fresh food group, an anti-oxidant supplement is a good idea. "Anti-oxidants are a great way to keep the body feeling great and ward off sickness," Bucci comments.

To get a boost of antioxidants, try tak-ing 1,000 mg Vitamin C daily. Women should also consider adding calcium and Vitamin D.

With this information, shoppers can be more knowledgeable as to which supple-ments are right from them and be able to navigate the vitamin aisle with greater ease. For more information about Mega-Red, visit www.schiffmegared.com or call (800) 526-6251.

Our CountryOn the Road Again – Cerritos to ChihulyBy Dr. Bob Hughlett

Cat was obviously having a bad day. The cashier and fill-in waitress for the three who had called in sick that day was flustered with a very busy lunch crowd who all wanted service and right now. Pat, Marianne, Maynard and I had just pulled into the Flying J restaurant right across the river from Blythe and were ready to try our first traveling meal at the start of our two week road trip. Cat took a long look at Maynard and me and proceeded to let us know how tired she was of “old, pushy people”. We looked at each other and fig-ured that the best response we could give was a sympathetic if not grandfatherly one as we delicately decided to just buy a large pizza and get back on the road to Tempe, our first day’s destination. While waiting for our pepperoni special to be delivered we did get the chance to become better acquainted with our first character on our travels. Cat, as she shared with us after the crowd had thinned, is a single mom with a young daughter who truly loves her work at the truck stop. “If I’m not being ornery to you then it means I don’t like you”, she said, “and you can obviously see that I like you a lot”. She had a wry smile and a wave for us as we drove off in 93 degree heat further into the Sonoran Desert.

Then there was Taylor Ross, or Davi Mano in her native Navajo, which roughly translates to Little Sunshine Girl in Cerri-tos English. Taylor was the tour guide at the Heard Museum of Native Americans in Phoenix who led us through a 45 minute tour of the tribes of the southwest. “For starters,” she said’ “It’s Native Americans, not American Indians, and you won’t find anyone around here who looks like those painted, naked people in the John Wayne movies”. She is scarcely a sophomore in high school who still has one foot in the reservation (“res” as she called it several times) and one in modern Phoenix. She is drawn to complete the rituals and ancient ceremonial rites of passages for Native American girls because she truly seemed to feel the need to be one with her forebears but in the same moment she was a young teenager who most likely knew what a twit-ter is – the electronic one, that is, as well as the call of the cactus wrens she had heard all her life. When she discovered that a future “Our Town” column would likely include some comments about her she was anxious that the message of her people be delivered in an unvarnished, un-Holly-wood, style which could best be captured

by her favorite quote in the museum from a Hopi chief…”I am here and own this land with my heart”. It turns out that Pat (whose maiden name is Whitehorn) had an Apache foster sister by Tribal Council rul-ing. Viewing the Heard museum through the eyes of Taylor and Pat certainly gave the experience greater depth and meaning.

The following morning we traveled on in our Expedition with the two foot high storage unit (a.k.a. attic) full of golf clubs strapped to the top to Phoenix for a planned first stop at their Botanical Gardens which just so happened to be featuring a display of Chihuly glass sculptures commissioned just for six months. Dale Chihuly is a dif-ferent personality to say the least and a character of the first order. His efforts to blend in his artwork with the natural cacti, shrubs and small trees were effective and just a little bit different. If you have not taken the time to check out his work in the Cerritos Library take a drive over there right now and look up when you enter what used to be the old library and you will see his spidery glassworks. Now imagine the extensive piece on the library wall doubled over five times and you have a feel for the impact at the Botanical Gardens.

After a gourmet lunch (how about ol-ives stuffed with pimientos to go along with your choice of Cobb salad or ham and cheese sandwiches) at a nearby picnic table we next drove off to the Saguaro National Monument, just north of Tucson.

Artesia Medicine Shoppe Expands

CCPA ReviewMingus Big Band True to Their InspirationBy Glen Creason

It is fitting that the legacy of the complex and powerful Charles Mingus lives on in a fourteen piece band from New York City called the Mingus Big Band. Mingus, one of the most passion-ate and influential jazz artists of all time never swayed from his strong beliefs and most certainly took Jazz to new places in his relatively short life. While he died before he reached sixty years of age he left a pretty fair discography includ-ing the landmark albums "Mingus Ah Um" and "Blues & Roots" from which the Big Band took all but one song for their Friday night Cerritos appearance. While some might suggest Mingus was the founder of the free jazz movement that is a fork in the road many don’t take. This show danced up to the edge of such experimentation but always returned to more solid ground even if the sound was ricocheting all over the musical solar sys-tem. Mingus believed in improvisation as part of the whole and this Big Band does that to perfection.

The Mingus Big Band plays every Monday evening in NYC but occasion-ally tours and this was a rather rare opportunity for aficionados to drink the nectar of Mingus’ marvelous music. This fourteen member ensemble is as solid as a rock, member by member excellent together and alone. They play the Min-gus way, handing over solos to everyone in the group that builds up the excite-ment and leads to paths unknown and enlightening. There are five saxophones, three trombones, three trumpets, a piano, drums and of course, a very busy bass in this group. They all get a chance to stand up and show their chops and even the bandleader changes in this egalitarian

setup from bassist Boris Koslov to Craig Handy to Frank Lacy . The brilliant thing about the music is that nothing is predict-able and the notes just rush by like rafts in a briskly moving stream, sometimes head-ing for a waterfall and a torrent of sound played from different angles but forming a deep pool of Jazz in the conclusion.

They played “Gun Slinging Bird” with Saxes appropriately dominating, begin-ning with young Seamus Blake and giving time to Vincent Herring, Abraham Burton and Craig Handy. “Fables of Faubus” was typical of Mingus’ outspoken civil rights expressions with vocal and fiery trombone solo by the amazing Ku-Umba Frank Lacy. There was a relatively mellow period with ballads “Diane,” and “Alice in Wonderland” spiced by great trumpet work from Alex Sipiagan and the muted and swinging “Open Letter to Duke” that allowed the fantastic David Kikoski room to pay his own Ellington homage with the piano. There was a premier of a moody “Put Me In the Dungeon” along with one

of the nights high points in Baritone saxo-phonist Lauren Sevian’s “Moanin’” that really left folks staring in amazement. The first half was a concert in itself and only space keeps me from raving about the other soloists who were all top drawer. Yet the second half was even stronger with the Saxophone madness of “Bird Calls” once again colored by Kikoski’s piano and the full throttle voyage of the “Double G Train” that was full of improvisational steam.

Movement 18 from the esoteric “Epi-taph” was quite avant guard and despite it taking you way out there, once you got there you liked it. “Tensions” was about as good as you can get with the musicians playing off each other and getting better and better like a good team that under-stands how to share the ball. Lastly the dessert of this Jazz feast was “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat” which was a sad farewell for the not big enough crowd that cer-tainly made plenty of noise for the music they love.

“We ask that you embrace this Asso-ciation so that it can function and grow to represent all 900 businesses in Artesia”

The Mayor Pro Tem told the group that they as a community need to elected a Board and officers. “We need to elect a president, treasurer and secretary to replace our interim people. When our old chamber was vibrant and strong it was something. I’m hoping we can have a new organiza-tion that is vibrant and strong to represent the business community in Artesia. I know we can,” he asserted. “We have to do it for our city and for us.”

City Manager Maria Dadian told the

group that the City was not the driving force here and while it would give its full support to the Association, the driving force was the business community.

Chester Schwartz, interim attorney for the ABA, said he had filed with the IRS for non-profit recognition. “They have written back that they would like more informa-tion.” He said the Association would be for the benefit of the business community by helping each other as opposed to work-ing individually.

He cited the renovation of the down-town area which when completed would draw more foot traffic. People walking through the city instead of driving through it means more sales. That’s what this is all about, helping each other, He said the bylaws are set up but the more people in-volved the stronger we will be.The group decided to hold a business meeting on May 28 at 7 p.m. in the Com-munity Center located in Artesia Park to organize and elect officers and a Board of Directors.State of City

The City Manager reviewed the city’s finances and told the group the City knows they have been struggling with the econo-my, but they were not in this alone. She said “This year the City has dropped $250,000 in sales tax. We rely on the sales tax for the operation of the city that includes police[sheriff deputies], street sweeping, etc. We know we are suffering like the oth-er cities in Southern California.” She said not knowing what will happen in the state election on May 19, the state could raid additional city funds to help Sacramento with the state budget.

Asked what period the $250,000 loss involved she said from July 1,2008 to December 2008. “That’s where we are,” she answered. She said the city also lost $300,000 in construction revenue. “We originally forecast $600,000 in incre-ment [rent] income. Now we’re down to $300,000.

Receipts for Artesia’s third quarter sales were 8.8 percent lower than the same quarter one year ago. Actual sales were

down 10.7 percent when reporting aber-rations were factored out.

She said Artesia has been very suc-cessful in obtaining grants for many of its redevelopment projects. She said the city is also waiting to see how much stimulus money the city will receive, noting that stimulus funds cannot be used for basic services but only for infrastructure proj-ects. “We rely on our sales tax to operate. Saying that one-third of the city budget is used for community safety [sheriff depu-ties]. A lot of people believe the city has a property tax. It doesn’t. The property tax on your tax bill belongs to the county. Ar-tesia receives a small portion of it, the rest is allocated throughout the county.

The City Manager said right now the city has a balanced budget, which means its expenditures are equal to the city’s in-come.

questing they do a monthly report instead, combined with weekly meetings on site.” She said the timeline for the project is 13 months

The compensation amount revolves around what the project will actually entail and how much time the firm will have to put into its design and construction. She said the city had allocated $2 million for the yard. Because the cost figures have not been set down and what will be required for the yard, the firm has not been able to compile what the construction cost will be and what percentage their costs will be.

Mayor Pro Tem Tony Lima asked about the design of the yard. “Usually we don’t have the costs until we have a drawing of the facility,” he said. Dadian replied the company would put that together for the council to look at.

Councilman John Martin said, “The way I understood it, the company will work out the details, bring it to us, and once the

council approves it let the job out to bid.” The Mayor Pro tem said he would like to see a drawing in his hands before he votes on it.

The City Manager said, the firm was told the yard needed two offices, a rest-room, workspace and a place for storage. The rest of it would be blacktopped for ve-hicles and container storage. “We told them what we needed.”

Councilman Larry Nelson said he would like the council to have input at the beginning and not the end. I’d like to know if there is going to be a service bay or lu-brication area, or a lift. “I’d like to know what’s going to be in there.”

City Attorney Kevin Ennis said the coun-cil will get the documents before the project goes out to bid and see for themselves what the yard makeup will be, at which time it can approve or disapprove it.

Dadian said the proposed Yard was presently a vacant lot that will be built from the ground up. She said the $2 million is a tentative figure. “I’m not saying the cost will be that much.”

Mayor Sally Flowers said she was fear-ful the cost of the Yard would be $2 million if that was the approved allocation.

Martin said until they receive something they wouldn’t know the cost. He personally does not believe the yard will cost $2 mil-lion or even $1,5 million. “We just have to wait until we see the plans, and if it is too expensive we can cut back on the project.”

Girls SoftballNorwalk Stymied By La Mirada's LopezSuburban league championship dashed.

By Loren Kopff

LA MIRADA-It started out to be the

classic Suburban League match-up that many had expected but when the middle of the seventh inning arrived, the Norwalk softball team saw any chances of winning the Suburban League by themselves evap-orate. The eight-time, which will now be nine-time, defending league champion La Mirada Matadores scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and blanked the Lancers 7-0 this past Tuesday.

Through the first three innings, se-nior pitcher Stephanie Jimenez had struck out seven and got the other two outs on a pop-up and fly-out. Things were look-ing good to give Norwalk head coach Paulette Gasporra one of the best birthday presents she has ever had. But La Mirada, the seventh ranked team in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Sec-tion Division II poll, adjusted and came out with a bang as Dana Garcia blooped a single to left field, Lauren Moreno sacri-ficed her over, then moved to second on an error and Rebecca Walker singled to put the hosts up 2-0. Rhea Cuglietta then dou-

bled in Walker and the Matadores knew they would not be stopped. In all, Jimenez faced 11 batters in the inning and gave up six hits.

"I think they just started to put the ball in position," Gasporra said.

"We just tell them what we always tell them," said La Mirada head coach Rich Trujillo. "Just keep swinging at anything close and try to lay off the bad pitches. Hit-ting is contagious. It's a cliche but that's what happened and we're pretty good hit-ters. I consider fortunate that we were able to have a big inning against [Stephanie] because she is a pretty good.

"We knew she was going to strike a few girls out," Trujillo continued. "We also knew Kim [Lopez] was going to keep the ball around the plate. We just had to score some runs."

As stellar as Jimenez was in the early part of the game, so was La Mirada's Lo-pez. She was pitching a no-hitter until the top of the seventh and other than hitting junior center fielder Alex Lopez to lead off the third, had induced the Norwalk hitters to hit into 12 straight groundouts to be-gin the game. Of the 21 outs recorded, 16 came via the groundout. Norwalk hitters connected on the first pitch from Lopez five times, the second pitch five times and the third pitch five times.

"They were eager to come out swing-ing and obviously they were eager to score runs," Gasporra said. "You kind of have to tell them to slow the game down a little bit to their speed. La Mirada pretty much would work Stephanie a little bit more than we worked their pitcher. We tried to adjust that."

The only hits the Lancers got off of Lo-

pez were back to back singles from sopho-more shortstop Anai Zarate and senior first baseman Michelle Contreras. Meanwhile, the Matadores last two runs of the game were home runs from Walker and Taylor Johnson in the fifth and sixth innings re-spectively. Although he took over the La Mirada program in 1998, the win over Nor-walk was Trujillo's 100th during this nine-year dominance his teams have had over the rest of the league.

"I consider Norwalk always tough and I have the upmost respect for Paulette and I have the upmost respect for the Norwalk girls because they always play tough," Tru-jillo said. "It's never for granted. We're not going to Norwalk [on May 14] thinking 7-0. That's just out of respect."

As has been the case with the past few seasons, Norwalk, the eighth ranked team in the division, had it's bye week to pre-pare for the home and home series with La Mirada. While Trujillo had seen Nor-walk a few times throughout the season, Gasporra didn't spend last week scouting the Matadores. Now, the best the Lancers (18-8 overall, 9-2 in the league) can do is force a three-way tie, along with Mayfair, for first place should they win at home on May 14. Then a series of tiebreakers would determine first, second and third place for playoff placements, i.e. first round home games.

"Any way we can get a league title, we want a league title," Gasporra said. "Whether it's a split, whether it's shared...and it comes down to how the league is going to decide what they do with a three-way or a two-way tie. You always want the league title outright but I think battling this year like we did last year, the program has improved.

"Irregardless of what you know about any player or any team, you still have to get the job done," Gasporra added. "You can have all the stats you want on somebody but you still have to be able to execute."

High School BaseballJohn Glenn Strikes EarlyCruises past Cerritos to secure seventh straight victory.

By Loren Kopff

As John Glenn's baseball team was

hosting Cerritos last Friday with one week remaining in the regular season, it was easy to see which team was planning for the playoffs and which team was planning on next season. The Eagles knew going in that their playoff aspirations were pretty much alive as they could no worse than a .500 regular season mark, a prerequisite to ap-ply for an at-large bid.

The Dons, on the other hand, were mired in an eight-game losing streak in the Suburban League and had lost 13 of their last 15 overall. Glenn would further enhance its playoff resume with an 11-4 victory, scoring seven times in the first two innings combined. The Eagles, who visited Mayfair this past Tuesday, improved to 13-9 overall and 6-4 in the circuit.

"Defensively, we're where we want to be," said John Glenn head coach David Cruz. "I think the changes started when we put [freshman John Lemos] at short-stop and it cleaned up a lot of our defense. They've gelled and this is a good time for us to be playing good defense. I like where we're at."

Glenn junior pitcher Juan Vera helped his own cause when he singled on the sec-ond pitch he saw in the bottom of the first. Eventually, he would score on the first of two errors in the inning and five for the game. Glenn would score four times in the frame, three of which were unearned, off of

junior Rajean Daily, who by far has been the ace of a struggling Cerritos pitching staff. Daily has three of the five victories the Dons have managed this season and has gone the distance five times. Just one week before the Glenn game, Daily scat-tered five hits in a 3-2 complete game loss to league-leading La Mirada.

"Rajean has done a fantastic job this year," Stecher said. "You can't say enough about the job he has done on the mound. If we play behind him and show some heart consistently, he could easily have double figures in wins. He's that good and he has a lot to look forward to."

But the defense behind Daily was mak-ing it easier for the home team to tack on more runs in the second. Sophomore left fielder Juan Rojas singled and Cerritos thought it would escape further damage after Daily got Vera to hit into a double play. But a walk to senior right fielder Jose Reyes and back to back run scoring hits from senior third baseman Efrain Ramir-ez and senior second baseman Josh Carr, along with another error, quickly made the score 7-1.

That was more than enough for Vera, who was tossing a no-hitter through the first four innings despite yielding an un-earned tally in the top of the second. Daily would break up the no-hit party with an infield knock in the top of the fifth. With his pitch count only at 59 through six in-nings, Vera ran into a speed bump in the seventh when senior third baseman Andy Min singled and scored on a base hit from junior shortstop Matt Kamiyama, the first of three straight singles. Vera finished with 80 pitches and struck out four.

Meanwhile, the Eagles, sans senior catcher Enrique Medina, one of the top hit-ters from last season but a better defensive player, added to their total in the bottom of the sixth with four more runs off of four hits including a two-run single from Vera. Glenn pounded out 10 hits, just the third time the team has had at least 10 hits off of Suburban League pitching.

"Having Enrique in there anytime...you think he can hit it over the fence," Cruz said. "He was doing that when he was play-ing but without him we realized we have to play small ball and we have to gather hits together. But defensively is where we miss him. [Opponents] were afraid to steal and coaches all knew him."

Ramirez went three for four while Vera added a pair of hits and evened his record on the mound at 4-4. Glenn began this week tied for third with Bellflower and could finish as high as second place with a sweep over the Monsoons, or as low as fifth.

"With four losses [in league], we're go-ing to have to win just to get a respectable position in the playoffs," Cruz said.

Daily went two for three and drove in a pair of runs for Cerritos, which will not participate in the playoffs for the 11th straight season. At 5-18 overall, the Dons would need to sweep Bellflower just to match their overall and league victory to-tals of the last two seasons. But Stecher is still optimistic about next season and with a better attitude, Cerritos could make some noise in the league.

"You always think the program as a whole," Stecher said. "We have a lot of juniors coming back and we have a poten-tially decent corps coming back next year to try to keep them going and have a sense of pride to show up and play. The first two innings they were an utter embarrassment to baseball; a disrespect to baseball. Then they wonder why they get behind and [have to rally] to win."

in the U.S. are carpenter ants, p a v e m e n t ants, Argentine ants and odorous ants. In fact, the black carpenter ant is the most common ant with more than 1,000 differ-ent subspecies throughout the world.

Ants prefer their natural habitat, but when they're hungry, no home is off lim-its. Often, ants send a scout in to find food. Once food is located, they leave an odor trail on the way back to their mound leading their fellow ants on an easy hunt. "Ants usually enter homes in search of food, water, warmth or shelter," says Dr. Charles Barr, horticulture expert. "But of-ten they're responding to weather, which means heavy rain, cold or drought can push them inside."

Have no fear; there are ways to pre-vent home-invading ants from setting up camp in your house.

Treat outdoorsAnts invade homes because they are

looking for food and water. The best way to control ants in your home is to keep them from entering in the first place. Us-ing AMDRO AntBlock around your pati-os, sidewalks, in cracks, and surrounding the entire foundation of your home, is an effective way to inhibit the most com-mon U.S. ant species, including carpenter ants, pavement ants, Argentine ants and

COMMUNITYSPORTS Girls Softball

Norwalk Stymied By La Mirada's LopezSuburban league championship dashed.

By Loren Kopff

LA MIRADA-It started out to be the classic Suburban League match-up that many had expected but when the middle of the seventh inning arrived, the Norwalk softball team saw any chances of winning the Suburban League by themselves evap-orate. The eight-time, which will now be nine-time, defending league champion La Mirada Matadores scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and blanked the Lancers 7-0 this past Tuesday.

Through the first three innings, se-nior pitcher Stephanie Jimenez had struck out seven and got the other two outs on a pop-up and fly-out. Things were look-ing good to give Norwalk head coach Paulette Gasporra one of the best birthday presents she has ever had. But La Mirada, the seventh ranked team in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Sec-tion Division II poll, adjusted and came out with a bang as Dana Garcia blooped a single to left field, Lauren Moreno sacri-ficed her over, then moved to second on an error and Rebecca Walker singled to put the hosts up 2-0. Rhea Cuglietta then dou-bled in Walker and the Matadores knew

they would not be stopped. In all, Jimenez faced 11 batters in the inning and gave up six hits.

"I think they just started to put the ball in position," Gasporra said.

"We just tell them what we always tell them," said La Mirada head coach Rich Tru-jillo. "Just keep swinging at anything close and try to lay off the bad pitches. Hitting is contagious. It's a cliche but that's what hap-pened and we're pretty good hitters. I con-sider fortunate that we were able to have a big inning against [Stephanie] because she is a pretty good.

"We knew she was going to strike a few girls out," Trujillo continued. "We also knew Kim [Lopez] was going to keep the ball around the plate. We just had to score some runs."

As stellar as Jimenez was in the early part of the game, so was La Mirada's Lo-pez. She was pitching a no-hitter until the top of the seventh and other than hitting ju-nior center fielder Alex Lopez to lead off the third, had induced the Norwalk hitters to hit into 12 straight groundouts to begin the game. Of the 21 outs recorded, 16 came via the groundout. Norwalk hitters connect-ed on the first pitch from Lopez five times, the second pitch five times and the third pitch five times.

"They were eager to come out swing-ing and obviously they were eager to score runs," Gasporra said. "You kind of have to tell them to slow the game down a little bit to their speed. La Mirada pretty much would work Stephanie a little bit more than we worked their pitcher. We tried to adjust that."

The only hits the Lancers got off of Lo-pez were back to back singles from sopho-more shortstop Anai Zarate and senior first baseman Michelle Contreras. Meanwhile, the Matadores last two runs of the game were home runs from Walker and Taylor Johnson in the fifth and sixth innings re-spectively. Although he took over the La Mirada program in 1998, the win over Nor-walk was Trujillo's 100th during this nine-year dominance his teams have had over the rest of the league.

"I consider Norwalk always tough and I have the upmost respect for Paulette and I have the upmost respect for the Norwalk girls because they always play tough," Tru-jillo said. "It's never for granted. We're not going to Norwalk [on May 14] thinking 7-0. That's just out of respect."

As has been the case with the past few seasons, Norwalk, the eighth ranked team in the division, had it's bye week to pre-pare for the home and home series with La Mirada. While Trujillo had seen Norwalk a few times throughout the season, Gasporra didn't spend last week scouting the Matado-res. Now, the best the Lancers (18-8 overall, 9-2 in the league) can do is force a three-

way tie, along with Mayfair, for first place should they win at home on May 14. Then a series of tiebreakers would determine first, second and third place for playoff placements, i.e. first round home games.

"Any way we can get a league title, we want a league title," Gasporra said. "Whether it's a split, whether it's shared...and it comes down to how the league is going to decide what they do with a three-way or a two-way tie. You always want the league title outright but I think battling this year like we did last year, the program has improved.

"Irregardless of what you know about any player or any team, you still have to get the job done," Gasporra added. "You can have all the stats you want on some-body but you still have to be able to ex-ecute."

High School BaseballJohn Glenn Strikes EarlyCruises past Cerritos to secure seventh straight victory.

By Loren Kopff

As John Glenn's baseball team was hosting Cerritos last Friday with one week remaining in the regular season, it was easy to see which team was planning for the playoffs and which team was planning on next season. The Eagles knew going in that their playoff aspirations were pretty much alive as they could no worse than a .500 regular season mark, a prerequisite to apply for an at-large bid.

The Dons, on the other hand, were mired in an eight-game losing streak in the Suburban League and had lost 13 of their last 15 overall. Glenn would further en-hance its playoff resume with an 11-4 vic-tory, scoring seven times in the first two innings combined. The Eagles, who vis-ited Mayfair this past Tuesday, improved to 13-9 overall and 6-4 in the circuit.

"Defensively, we're where we want to be," said John Glenn head coach David Cruz. "I think the changes started when we put [freshman John Lemos] at short-stop and it cleaned up a lot of our defense. They've gelled and this is a good time for us to be playing good defense. I like where we're at."

Glenn junior pitcher Juan Vera helped his own cause when he singled on the sec-ond pitch he saw in the bottom of the first. Eventually, he would score on the first of two errors in the inning and five for the game. Glenn would score four times in the frame, three of which were unearned,

off of junior Rajean Daily, who by far has been the ace of a struggling Cerritos pitch-ing staff. Daily has three of the five vic-tories the Dons have managed this season and has gone the distance five times. Just one week before the Glenn game, Daily scattered five hits in a 3-2 complete game loss to league-leading La Mirada.

"Rajean has done a fantastic job this year," Stecher said. "You can't say enough about the job he has done on the mound. If we play behind him and show some heart consistently, he could easily have double figures in wins. He's that good and he has a lot to look forward to."

But the defense behind Daily was mak-ing it easier for the home team to tack on more runs in the second. Sophomore left fielder Juan Rojas singled and Cerritos thought it would escape further damage after Daily got Vera to hit into a double play. But a walk to senior right fielder Jose Reyes and back to back run scoring hits from senior third baseman Efrain Ramir-ez and senior second baseman Josh Carr, along with another error, quickly made the score 7-1.

That was more than enough for Vera, who was tossing a no-hitter through the first four innings despite yielding an un-earned tally in the top of the second. Daily would break up the no-hit party with an infield knock in the top of the fifth. With his pitch count only at 59 through six in-nings, Vera ran into a speed bump in the seventh when senior third baseman Andy Min singled and scored on a base hit from junior shortstop Matt Kamiyama, the first of three straight singles. Vera finished with 80 pitches and struck out four.

Meanwhile, the Eagles, sans senior catcher Enrique Medina, one of the top hitters from last season but a better defen-sive player, added to their total in the bot-tom of the sixth with four more runs off of four hits including a two-run single from Vera. Glenn pounded out 10 hits, just the third time the team has had at least 10 hits off of Suburban League pitching.

"Having Enrique in there anytime...you think he can hit it over the fence," Cruz said. "He was doing that when he was playing but without him we realized we have to play small ball and we have to gather hits together. But defensively is where we miss him. [Opponents] were afraid to steal and coaches all knew him."

Ramirez went three for four while Vera added a pair of hits and evened his record on the mound at 4-4. Glenn began this week tied for third with Bellflower and could finish as high as second place with a sweep over the Monsoons, or as low as fifth.

"With four losses [in league], we're go-ing to have to win just to get a respectable position in the playoffs," Cruz said.

Daily went two for three and drove in a pair of runs for Cerritos, which will not participate in the playoffs for the 11th straight season. At 5-18 overall, the Dons would need to sweep Bellflower just to match their overall and league victory to-tals of the last two seasons. But Stecher is still optimistic about next season and with a better attitude, Cerritos could make some noise in the league.

"You always think the program as a whole," Stecher said. "We have a lot of juniors coming back and we have a poten-tially decent corps coming back next year to try to keep them going and have a sense of pride to show up and play. The first two innings they were an utter embarrassment to baseball; a disrespect to baseball. Then they wonder why they get behind and [have to rally] to win."

sight, and wants to give a shout-out to his brother Richard in Pico Rivera and his sis-ter Rebecca in Whittier.

Carole Van Bogelen has been com-pletely blind since birth, as has Laura Rus-sell. Wayne Thompson, born blind, runs an Internet radio show every Friday from his home studio, where he maintains 24,000 music files. Marcia Wong was born blind in Jamaica.

Jason Eien, born sighted in Orange County, lost his sight when he was shot at the age of seven. Sharon Rainwater, a resi-dent of Los Angeles, napped for two hours and woke blinded by a stroke.

Each of them faces blindness as an in-dividual. Each of them invites you down to bowl with them because it’s fun.

The bowlers only concessions to their handicap are guide rails and a sighted as-sistant to man the computer console. No gutter bumpers are used.

Guide rails run from the ball retriever to the head of the lane. Hartley often acts as coach, calling out results from behind the bowlers and suggesting ways to im-prove their form.

The Norwalk Lions Club chipped in to buy the guide rails. Together with other Lions Clubs in West Covina and North Pasadena, the Norwalk Lions provide con-tinuing support for the league, known as Journey for the Blind.

The team is past national champs, and Jason Eien is past national singles champ. But sending a team to that national com-petition strains the league’s finances. This year it will cost about $4000 to cover round trip airfare, meals and hotel rooms. So far, the league has raised about half the cost.

The only blind bowling league in Southern California, Journey for the Blind is always looking for more support because its members live on restricted incomes of $800 to $1100 a month on average. No one is turned away for inability to pay the

modest $10 weekly bowling fee. Current-ly, there are six teams in the league, with four players per team.

The league needs sponsors to cover the cost of a team ($160 - $200 monthly) or an individual ($40 monthly). They’re sell-ing pens for $4 each. Team members are spreading the word through school visits and public speaking.

As he has done three times in the past, Rob Hartley will bowl a 24-hour marathon later this month or next to raise funds for the league. Over the course of the mara-thon, he will drink 12 pounds of liquid, eat 10 pounds of food and use the restroom twice. He’s looking for sponsors, and for challengers to play against him.

If you are interested in starting a blind bowling league in your area, Hartley will be happy to help you get one started.

For more information, call Hartley at Keystone Lanes at 562-868-3261 and ask for Rob. Or call Hartley’s cell phone at 951-255-0705.

Keystone Lanes is located at 11459 East Imperial Highway, just east of Fire-stone Boulevard, in the city of Norwalk. For more information, visit its website at www.keystonelanes.com or call 562-868-3261.

Cerritos Sheriff's Crime SummaryApril 27-May 3, 2009

Twenty-two Part I felony crimes were investigated last week, down from twenty-four the previous week. Robberies and ve-hicle thefts were up, commercial burglar-ies remained the same, and vehicle and residential burglaries were lower.

Calls for service were also down from 322 as 313 were handled by field person-

nel. The 2009 weekly average in calls for service is currently 322. Two robberies were logged. On Tuesday April 27 at 9:07 p.m. a shoplifting incident at a department store in the Los Cerritos Center escalated to a robbery when the suspect fought with employees. He was subsequently controlled and arrested. The second case involved two teens on Thursday April 30 at 3:20 p.m. when a sixteen year-old took a wallet from a fourteen year-old in the 11800 block of Del Amo Boulevard. Residential burglar-ies dropped by one case. In the sole crime last week, jewelry was removed from a residence after entry via an open/unlocked door or window.

The 2009 weekly average in this cat-egory is now 2.2. Remember, the hot weather is coming and residents are known to leave doors and windows open for ven-tilation. Unfortunately, residential burglars know this too. Two commercial burglar-ies were again recorded. A keyboard was stolen from a school and no loss could be

determined from a closed business after a loading dock door was pried open to gain entry. The 2009 weekly average commer-cial burglaries is 1.2.

Vehicle burglaries were down by one case as five were investigated last week. Only two were from high-volume com-mercial parking lots. Three involved SUVs, and GPS units were stolen in one. Other stolen items included ID, a purse, a briefcase, a tape measure, and a six-pack of beer.

The 2009 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is at 7.9. Vehicle thefts rose from three cases to four last week. High-volume commercial parking lots were the crime scenes in three cases. Two Hondas, a Nissan, and a Chevrolet pick-up were stolen. The 2009 weekly average in vehi-cle thefts is now 6.3. Protect your vehicle with some form of security. GPS tracking devices are useful after the vehicle is sto-len, but a good visual deterrent may help you avoid that situation.
